Due to other obligations of our team, we have neglected to post rationales for the votes of the year of 2024. Here is the backlog of these vote rationales.
Special Voting Cycle #17
Summary of Code of Conduct enforcement decisions
We OPTIMISTICALLY APPROVED
As the Code of Conduct enforcement mostly relies on trust (in order to keep parties confidential), we don’t have much information to express agreement/disagreement, so our approval is based on that continued trust in the committee, as well as the committee’s transparency and communication in these matters (to the degree that they are able). Also, none of the cases seemed to have any dissent from the accused or other parties, which added to our comfort with the committee’s decision.
Does it fulfill our mission?
“We strive to promote equitable, inclusive, sustainable, and effective community ownership and governance of key web3 infrastructure through thoughtful and researched decision-making and community engagement.”
Yes. Overall, this process marks an important departure from reliance on the Foundation and responsible handling of Code of Conduct enforcement.
Upgrade Proposal #3: Delta Network Upgrade
We voted FOR
The proposing team (TestInProd) is trustworthy and confirmed this upgrade with OP Labs. The report on the upgrade, including risks and mitigation factors, seem reasonable and thorough. Thus, we feel comfortable voting For.
Does it fulfill our mission?
“We strive to promote equitable, inclusive, sustainable, and effective community ownership and governance of key web3 infrastructure through thoughtful and researched decision-making and community engagement.”
Yes.
Proposal to Reclassify Grant Misusage Enforcement
We voted AGAINST
Following the statement here.
“We do not believe the grant freeze power should be taken away from token house delegates. Although we support the idea of giving delegates less work to do, in the extreme case that the token house agrees that someone should not be eligible to receive grant funding, they should be able to take that action. The token house should be the ultimate owner of governance funds, they should be allowed to revoke people’s access to it.”
Does it fulfill our mission?
“We strive to promote equitable, inclusive, sustainable, and effective community ownership and governance of key web3 infrastructure through thoughtful and researched decision-making and community engagement.”
Yes. Rejecting this proposal is in line with the principle of community ownership and governance.
